Greatest Work Yet (Possible Spoiler Warning)

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2005)

I've seen all of Michael Bay's movies except for The Rock and the first Bad Boys. I loved Bad Boys II, Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, and now The Island. It was so good, I had to see it 3 times. I'm not done yet though. This movie isn't just all Sci-fi, but it has everyone. Comedy, action (a lot), romance and suspense.
Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor's performances were just awesome. They really acted as if they were "educated to that of a 15-year-old." Lots of humor was brought into this one. Steve Buscemi had some really great lines (ie. explaining God to Lincoln). Sean Bean continued his villain character streak, putting on yet another great performance. And Djimon Hounsou put on a great assassin act.
This movie contains a hell of a cast. The camera shots when chasing them on foot, were very quick. The camera was all over the place. Yet some people I know that watched it didn't really like it, I don't think they really understood it until I explained. The camera shots really put you in the action, as if you were there.
The car chase is awesome!! The only I look forward to now is getting the soundtrack and the DVD (to see how they made this movie come to life).
This movie is a recommendation for anyone that wants to get a good laugh yet have a great time at the theaters. Better get two bags of popcorn before the movie starts though..
